SECURITY STANDARDS

We are, as always, committed to the protection of our customer’s information. To provide the best level of security, we consider a number of factors such as best practices, cost to execution, details and circumstances of processing, severity and risk of data breach occurrence and its potential impact to a customer. We also regularly test, assess and evaluate the effectiveness of our procedures. Below are technical and organizational standards that we’ve implemented across our core, US based operations to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of our processing systems and services. Rest assured, we are continually adding to the ways in which your data is safe with us.

DATA PRIVACY PROGRAM

Our Data Privacy Program is established to maintain a global data governance throughout its lifecycle. This program is overseen by our Data Protection Officer.

1. CONFIDENTIALITY.

Below are the practices we use to protect the confidentiality of our customer’s personal data.

Physical Security

We have physical access controls in place, as well as surveillance systems (including alarms, and CCTV monitoring where appropriate). We also implement clean desk policies (locking of unattended computers, locked cabinets, etc.), visitor access management and shredding of documents/destruction disks.

Access Control & Prevention of Unauthorized Access

New access to systems is reviewed and approved by management prior to being granted. We perform regular reviews of user accounts and assigned permissions for key systems. We also limit the personnel who may grant, alter or cancel authorized access to data and resources.

Encryption & Pseudonymization

We provide encryption of external and internal communication via strong cryptographic protocols, and remote connections to the company networks are encrypted via VPN. We also have implemented and use pseudonymization, where appropriate.

The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

4. The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.

In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.
